1977Capital Times (Madison WI) 16 Sept 2/5, The city of Jefferson will put its best Germanic foot forward tonight through Sunday when it celebrates its well known Gemuetlichkeit Days with a variety of activities to include rolling pin throwing and chicken flying contests, bike rally plus euchre and schapsfkopf tournaments.

2001DARE FilecWI (as of 1944), As a small child at family gatherings, I was allowed to watch the adults and older children play Schafskopf in the evenings if I was quiet. Almost everyone played this card game and commonly called it [ˈšɑ:sˈkʌp]. It was also referred to by many others, usually people who spoke German as well as English, as [ˈšɑfsˈkʌp]. Some few used the ‘correct’ German pronunciation of [ˈšɑfsˈkʌf]. My parents, born 1908 and 1912, played Schafskopf from childhood on.
